Abstract :
Background: The modern era of laparoscopic surgery has ought a remarkable change in the approach to many surgical diseases. The trend towards minimally invasive surgery has prompted surgeons to scrutinize nearly all operations traditionally performed by open surgery for possible conversion to laparoscopic techniques. Objectives: Laparoscopic appendectomy is compared with open surgical technique with respect to duration of surgery, incidence of complications, post–operative pain and duration of analgesia, duration of hospital stay and time taken to resume routine work. Methods: A prospective and comparative study of laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy was conducted from December 2014 to May 2016 and it involved 100 cases (50 cases open and 50 cases lap) which were randomly selected, at AIMS Hospital, B.G. Nagara, Karnataka. Results: In this study, laparoscopic appendectomy group had the least pain score, shorter duration of analgesics, lesser postoperative complications like ileus, surgical site infections, shorter hospital stay and early return to routine work. However, these advantages were at the cost of slightly increased duration of surgery
